Academic Advising & Advisor Search

The University of Houston’s academic advisors are helpful resources for students considering major selection, career paths, academic plans and enrichment opportunities, course selection and registration, or other personal and life goals. A student should speak to his/her advisor frequently, at least once a semester. Students should also use advisors when considering changing their major or adding a double-major or minor. Use this website: www.uh.edu/academics/majors-minors/advising to locate advisors my colleges, majors, special programs, or interest areas.

The Honors College

The Honors College creates a community to serve the University’s finest students. We offer the best of both worlds – the personal support and advantages of a small private college together with the resources and diversity of a large research university. Our benefits include:

Small Classes for all Majors: We offer a range of honors designated classes with limited enrollment that promotes stimulating discussions and interactions.

Priority Course Registration: Every semester, Honors College students are among the first to register for classes, ensuring that they enroll in the classes they want.

Accessible Faculty/Staff: Honors faculty and staff practice an open-door policy, making them readily available for one-on-one interactions with students.

Student Community: Club Theatre, French Film Society, Model Arab League, World Aid, Honors Ambassadors, Bleacher Creatures, Movie Night, Coffeehouse, Spring Fling, tailgating and museum trips are just a few of our many social organizations and activities that build community beyond the classroom.
